Say goodbye to stubborn fat with CoolSculpting® fat freezing treatments. This FDA-cleared, non-surgical procedure helps reduce unwanted fat by freezing fat cells beneath the skin. CoolSculpting is designed to target areas such as the abdomen, flanks, and thighs to help create a more sculpted body without surgery or downtime.
How Does CoolSculpting® Work?
CoolSculpting uses advanced cooling technology to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin. The controlled cooling process crystallizes the fat cells, which then die and are gradually eliminated by the body’s natural processes.
Over time, the body processes and removes the treated fat cells, leaving the treated area slimmer and more contoured. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they are gone for good.
What to Expect During CoolSculpting®
During the procedure, a gel pad and applicator are placed on the targeted treatment area. The applicator gently pulls the tissue into the device and delivers controlled cooling to freeze the fat cells.
Patients may feel sensations such as pulling, tugging, pinching, or intense cold at the beginning of treatment, but the area typically becomes numb after several minutes. Most sessions last 35–60 minutes, and many patients choose to relax, read, or check emails during the procedure.
After treatment, most patients can return to normal activities immediately.

FREEZE THE FAT
The idea that cold can selectively affect fat, led to the innovative cooling process developed by scientists at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. CoolSculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you. After you and one of our providers decide what sites are to be treated, the device is positioned on your body and controlled cooling is applied. During your procedure, feel free to read, check email, or even take a nap.
RESHAPE YOUR BODY
You can reduce fat on multiple areas of your body with the procedure, and additional sessions may further enhance your results. Your provider will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored just for you.
AFTER YOUR COOLSCULPTING SESSION
After a CoolSculpting treatment, most practices manually massage the treatment site in order to break up the fat and tissue that hardened as a result of the procedure. This massage would normally be slightly uncomfortable and last for two minutes or more. Here at Newport Beach Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we offer complimentary Z-wave radial pulse therapy along with all treatments, so that we can avoid that uncomfortable massage process. The Z-wave machine emits powerful sound waves into the tissue, which both enhances results from CoolSculpting and treats cellulite, as that is the original purpose of the Z-wave machine. The Z-wave procedure is gentle and painless, has noticeably improved patients' results, and is quick and comfortable. It provides a better post-procedure treatment than a manual massage, because when done manually, the effectiveness of the massage relies heavily on the techique used by the medical assistant. With Z-wave, the pressure and pulse speed can be controlled for optimal results. The use of the Z-wave machine after Coolsculpting treatments is what provides our patients with the best results possible, and we are proud to offer it free after any coolsculpting procedure to ensure that our patients get the final product they want.

Frequetntly Asked Questions
Question: Am I a good candidate for CoolSculpting?
Answer: The CoolSculpting® fat-reduction procedure is specially designed for those who have unwanted fat in targeted areas. Unlike weight-loss surgery (e.g., gastric bypass), the CoolSculpting procedure is not a weight-loss solution for people who are obese. Good candidates for the CoolSculpting procedure have noticeable bulges in certain areas they’d like to get rid of. Many people want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. The CoolSculpting procedure is not for everyone -- it is not a treatment for obesity. You should not have the CoolSculpting procedure if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria. As with any medical procedure, be sure to ask Dr. McNeill or Dr. Christopher Ellstrom if the CoolSculpting procedure is right for you.
Question: How much does the CoolScuplting procedure cost?
Answer: The price for CoolSculpting procedures varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of sessions needed, and your ultimate goals. Create a customized treatment plan with Newport Beach Dermatology & Plastic Surgery that's tailored specifically to you -- your body, your goals and your budget.
Questions: What does it feel like?
Answer: During your treatment, a gel pad and applicator are applied to the targeted area. Applicators that use vacuum will draw the tissue into the applicator cup. During the procedure you may feel pulling, tugging, mild pinching, numbness or discomfort. Controlled cooling is then delivered to the targeted fat so you may feel intense cold but this sensation typically subsides within 10 minutes as the area becomes numb. Side effects can include temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging and pain. However, many people are able to read, check emails or even take a nap during their sessions. Afterwards patients are usually able to return to normal activities.
Question: How long is each treatment? How many treatments will I need?
Answer: Dr. McNeill or Dr. Christopher Ellstrom will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your CoolSculpting treatment will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. The latest technology of CoolSculpting can treat a patient in 35-60 minutes, some patients have more than one treatment during the same office visit. At Newport Beach Dermatology & Plastic Surgery has multiple CoolSculpting systems and applicators, so it’s possible for a patient to have multiple areas treated at once.
Question: Where does the fat go?
Answer: Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), the body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells.
Question: Does it really work? When will I see results?
Answer: Yes! The CoolSculpting procedure has a 95% patient satisfaction rate.¹ Newport Beach Dermatology & Plastic Surgery will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. In the U.S., the CoolSculpting procedure is FDA-cleared for the treatment of visible fat bulges in the submental area, thigh, abdomen and flank, along with bra fat, back fat, and underneath the buttocks. While some patients may see results as early as 3 weeks after their session, most dramatic results are usually seen 1-3 months after treatment.
Question: What happens if I gain weight down the road?
Answer: Many people, after seeing the results from their procedure, take even better care of themselves. However, if you do gain weight, you may gain it evenly all over your body, not just in the treated areas.¹
